POLITICO’s California Playbook on Gov. Newsom’s current challenges. Also, an all-volunteer group protecting Sacramento’s waterways. Finally, Sacramento’s only high school student-run radio station KYDS 91.5 FM.

POLITICO California Playbook

With his signature piece of legislation hanging on by a razor-thin margin, the vote for Proposition 1 is just the latest signal to state Capitol watchers of the struggles facing Governor Newsom these days. In addition to Prop. 1, Newsom's approval ratings are the lowest in years, he is facing another recall attempt, a budget deficit in the tens of billions, and is at the center of the storm over a controversial minimum-wage deal for fast-food restaurants. Today on Insight, Co-author of POLITCO’s California Playbook, Dustin Gardiner, joins us to talk about all of the political drama under the Capitol dome.

Protecting Sacramento’s Waterways

An all-volunteer group is dedicated to cleaning, restoring and protecting the waterways of Sacramento. The River City Waterway Alliance’s mission is preserving the ecological health of our local creek and river channels, banks, levees, and associated riparian habitat. Sacramento Area Creeks Council President Crystal Tobias and Vice President Dr. Roland Brady join River City Waterway Alliance co-founder Mark Baker to discuss how volunteers have removed over 1.2 million pounds of trash within the span of 15 months.

High School Student-Run KYDS 91.5 FM

A high school in San Juan Unified District is home to the only radio station entirely run by students in Sacramento County. Solving Sacramento journalist Helen Harlan introduces us to the voices behind KYDS 91.5 FM at El Camino Fundamental High School and explains how it has grown over the past 40-plus years. Students Tori “DJ T” Norlie and radio host Winston Huber share what they have gained from this educational radio station.
